I recently picked up a second hand 40GB maxtor hard drive. It powers up and gets detected in the BIOS and during boot...but then after it finishes detecting the IDE devices on boot, it says "Primary Master failed".....I put it in my other rig as slave, and got "Primary Slave failed"...i continue to boot from the master, and windows picks up the hard drive and I can browse the files on it...but why can't I boot from it??
please help
